Police able to obtain GPS information from mobile phones in emergencies By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter

A new bill wanted local law enforcement to obtain a person’s location through a mobile device without a warrant. The bill is sponsored by Michigan House Criminal Justice Committee Chair Rep. Kurt Heise, R-Northville. Heise’s bill is raising concerns about privacy. House Bill 4006 called the Kelsey Smith Bill, is named for a Kansas woman who was kidnapped, raped and murdered in 2007. Police were forced to wait four days for a warrant compelling Verizon Communications to release Smith’s phone’s

last known location, by which point she had already been found dead. The bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require telecommunication carriers to provide call location information to agencies and other public safety agencies in emergency situations. HB 4006 passed through the Criminal Justice Committee after testimony from Smith’s mother, Missy, and is now on track to be heard on the House floor. Smith’s mother has maintained if police had immediate access to Kelsey’s phone, she might be alive today. “The legislative intent is that it’s an emergency use, one-time thing,” Heise said at the committee meeting. “We don’t want to track people or anything like that.” Mount Pleasant Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said the current method of obtaining a person’s cell phone location is time consuming in an ongoing investigation. w Police | 2

continued from 1 Within the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences, Sociology with a concentration in criminal justice came in a distant second at 231 majors. Neuroscience is the third most popular with 141 on-campus students. The Language Arts major is the third most-popular with 139 majors and English has 123 majors. Students can fulfill every psychology requirement online through CMU’s Global Campus, although they may miss out on one of the defining features of the psychology program. “I think the opportunities for students to get involved with research and get involved in clinics is very appealing,” said psychology Undergraduate Director Mark Reilly. Reilly describes the work of graduates as “research intensive.” He said this keeps CMU psychology majors active in their field, and gives them the experience to write theses and dissertations that will stand out on a resume. “In any one semester, I usually have five to 10 undergraduate students working in my lab,” Reilly said. “We have school psychology, we have industrial organization, clinical psych, experimental psych and also the opportunity to pursue post-graduate psychological degrees,” said Dean of the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences Pamela Gates. Most students are interested in clinical work. Clinical psychology is that which focuses on treating mental, emotional and behavioral disorders, according to the American Psychological Association. “It’s just one of those majors where everyone can relate to an aspect of it,” Reilly said.”It really draws students in.” The involvment of under-

graduate students in psychological work is rare at many universities, Reilly said. “Many of the students in psychology stay here to complete graduate school,” said CHSBS Communications Coordinator Sarah Buckley. “Many students have been at CMU for six to eight years. They finish the undergraduate program, and go right into the graduate program because they’ve already formed relationships with the faculty and are working in their research labs.” Professor James Carroll said he saw the appeal of a psychology program when he first joined he department in 1971. “I saw a group of people really dedicated to making the school psychology profession important,” Carroll said. “This became such a great university to work in, there was never a desire to go to a different school.”

After that, some companies allow us access to GPS voluntarily. Others require a warrant.” Police must write a request for a warrant and then wait for a judge’s approval. “If we could get the GPS information immediately and provide a warrant later, it would make the search go 10 times faster,” Browne said. The notion of warrantless cell phone tracking is concerning to some. James Hill, a professor of political science at Central Michigan University, said there are

dangers associated with such a bill. “It is dangerous to allow the enforcer to define the triggering event that permits the invasion of one’s personal privacy,” Hill said. “Infringing on personal liberties is a slippery slope.” Browne said having to wait four days to obtain a warrant is highly unusual, but allowing police to obtain cell phone location data without a warrant would expedite investigations. “Usually we get a warrant within the same day,” Browne said. “In emergency situations, it’s even faster, maybe a few hours.” Browne said a kidnapping is not the only situation in which the police must race against the clock to find a person. “If I need to find someone quickly, someone who may be intoxicated, waiting for a warrant in winter temperatures could be the

difference between finding a live subject or a dead body,” Browne said. Rep. Heise said the bill will not open the door for abuse by law enforcement, since it requires an officer to obtain a court order to continue requesting and using cell phone data after 48 hours. Despite this provision, there remains a concern that such a law would grant too much discretion to the police. Hill said under the law, the police are not the ones intended to decide what constitutes an emergency. “I am always worried about restricting personal liberties, even when they have admirable crime prevention objectives,” Hill said. “Any such law should be carefully crafted to ensure liberties are infringed on only in a truly exceptional situation, and not merely for ease of enforcement purposes.”

Voices Title IX reform hurts survivors Brynn McDonnell Columnist

Updated explanations of federal law Title IX requiring college employees to report sexual assaults have sparked controversy about the handling of sexual assaults on college campuses. I contend that the government has a role in ending sexual violence. I agree that Central Michigan University has a duty to make campus safe. I do not believe that the way to do this is by violating the privacy rights of students. Title IX became law in 1972 and requires gender equality in any educational program that receives federal funding. Traditionally, Title IX is known for its role in school sports. The exact words, found on knowyourix.org read the following: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. One of the most controversial aspects of the newly reformed Title IX program is that universities must comply with mandatory reporting. This was defined in detail in a Q&A released by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights in 2011. Mandatory reporting requires any agent of the university, from University President George Ross to teaching assistants like myself, to report to the Office of Civil Rights any disclosed experience of sexual violence. This applies to Resident Assistants, Multicultural Advisers and anyone else employed by the university, except for confidential sources such as the CMU Counseling Center and Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates. The survivor, should they disclose an experience of sexual violence to a professor or any other staff, will be contacted by the Title IX office to talk about options in regard to disciplinary procedures and other resources. While this might sound like a good way to deter sexual violence on campus, as an employee, activist and survivor, I find this process to be grossly humiliating to survivors of sexual aggression. While I think it is vital for survivors to know their options, I argue this process actually silences students. I certainly believe a student has a right to know every available option should they disclose their experience of sexual violence to a professor. The idea of being reported and then called into an office full of strangers to talk about private, personal experiences is traumatizing, embarrassing, and inhumane in practice. I recommend not a total abolition of the policy, but an adjustment to accommodate survivors. Instead of mandatory reporters being required to disclose names to the Title IX officer, it ought to be required to record the survivor anonymously. This way, data can be tracked without violating the privacy of survivors. I’m glad our society is having much-needed conversation on sexual violence. With dialogue comes understanding. With understanding comes evolution of the human experience. Students have a right to privacy and to disclose their experiences to others without the fear of being reported. Sexual violence is about taking away power from the individual. Unfortunately, the Title IX mandatory reporting policies do the exact same thing.

EDITORIAL | Grawn Hall renovation focuses on student success, recruitment

taking care of business

Grawn project sets positive example for student-focused renovations

he Central Michigan University Board of Trustees granted approval recently of a $10.8 million renovation to Grawn Hall, the oldest building on Central Michigan University’s campus. College of Business Administration Dean Charles Crespy said the project will add 6,600 square feet of space, a cafe, atrium and collaboration rooms to the building. Improvement to Grawn Hall is long overdue. The board’s decision to allow renovations to parts of the building dating to 1913 is commendable. More than that, the plan’s emphasis on student success and achievement is impressive. Together with Steve Lawrence, associate vice president of Facilities Management, and Linda Slater, plan engineering and planning director, Crespy has been discussing the Grawn renovation with key members of administration for more than a year. The college hired a space consultant in June 2013, who prepared a report identifying the best ways to maximize space in the building. To date, the College of Business Administration has raised $471,000 in contention gifts, for a total of $903,000 when added to the president’s match. Donors were willing to commit funds before they knew if the project was approved—a testament to Crespy’s vision for Grawn. “We feel like this is something that will engage would-be donors to get excited about supporting us,” Crespy said. “It’s about student success.” Some college-specific needs are obvious. The lack of study space in Grawn, for example, left students sprawled along the hallways between classes. The most recent survey con-

ducted by the Office of Institutional Research showed that students who spend more time on campus tend to maintain higher GPAs and are more likely to continue their education at CMU. The creation of study rooms and addition of the cafe will allow students to work with each other in Grawn Hall for longer periods of time, contributing to their academic success. Business students spend a great deal of time collaborating for classwork and projects, which mirrors the atmosphere of the profession they are preparing for. Crespy and his team showed investment in students by making the renovation plans centered around comfortable study areas and rooms for creative use.

The plan will not only make improvements to the oldest part of the building to keep students there longer, but will create new features like collaboration rooms and a glass atrium to attract new students to the program. The addition will act as a recruitment tool for the college. The College of Business Administration currently serves more than 4,000 students every year. If each of those students take one threecredit class at $385 per credit hour, the college makes $4.6 million. This addition is a smart investment on the part of the college that will pay itself off easily. The university is only being asked to commit $5 million to Grawn’s renovation. The addition is good for

both the business students and the business of CMU. The renovation of Grawn Hall was possible because it was selected as one of the 20 projects CMU identified as top priorities in the 10-year Capital Plan, part of the 2012-13 Campus Master Plan. President Ross, his Cabinet and the Board of Trustees made up a committee that narrowed down more than 200 proposed projects to the 20 that will be implemented over the next 10 years. Such a successful road to construction is not possible for all proposed building projects at CMU, but this plan’s attention to student needs and nod to future recruitment are a great example of the kind that will make the cut.

Denying science is an affront to human progress Writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley once said, “facts do not cease to exist simply because they are ignored.” Today, in an age of access to unlimited information, there should be no doubt about what has been proven as scientific fact. Yet there are those in political power on both sides of the aisle who wish turn back the clock on scientific discovery, which is—in so few words—absolutely mad. If we are to move forward, we must do everything we can to denounce religious obstructionism against science as wholly illegitimate. More than 56 percent of Republicans in the 114th Congress deny climate change is an actual thing, according to ThinkProgress.com. Since winning the U.S. House of Representatives majority in 2012, Republicans raced to flood top science committees with anti-fact crusaders, including Congressman Lamar Smith (R-Texas). Smith chairs the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. He

and his GOP cohorts on the committee are “waging a war” on new climate research by calling it science fiction. Earlier this month, a group of UK scientists believe they have evidence to support a long-dismissed theory stating life on Earth was catalyzed by “space seeds” planted here by extraterrestrial beings. Even if Smith’s science fiction argument holds weight in this case, if this theory were proven true, the religious right would recoil in blind fear. With Lamar at the helm, the science committee is almost guaranteed to deny an explanation of origin that doesn’t put God at the beginning of the equation. As a firm believer in God, writing this column puts an uneasy lump in my throat. Everything I know about reality points me toward the belief that there is an inexplicable force of purely positive energy moving the gears of our universe. However, my belief in one God has never prevented me from accepting new scientific discoveries, even if the

implications are terrifying. Sadly, a great majority of devout Americans can’t bring themselves to do the same. They view science as not only detrimental to their faith, but as detrimental to human progress. If that were the case, the artificial heart or the pacemaker would be heretical. Sounds silly, right? Especially considering some politicians in the anti-science camp might rely on those devices to survive. Take a second to imagine how insane you would sound if you openly denied the existence of gravity in line at Taco Bell. Or say maybe you tell a coworker that the centuries-old proof of a round Earth is liberal anti-religious propaganda. Most of the devout Christians I know would look at the above statements and call them ridiculous. I think we can all agree on that. So why then, do these same people label climate change, stem cell research and extraterrestrial life as blasphemy? When factions from the fractured

political right dismiss these topics as questionable pseudoscience, they sound just as unhinged as the village weirdos rapping about conspiracies on the street corner. These factions endeavor to replace logic with faithbased reasoning while discussing the world’s foremost environmental and medical problems, which is an absolute affront to human progress. Huxley had it right. We can’t simply pray our way out of our problems. Intelligent men and women from all spiritual backgrounds have a civic obligation to reject ultra-religious, anti-scientific campaigns before they effectively undo the basic principles that guide our well-established understanding of the universe.

Student Government Association lowers request for funding increase By Jordyn Hermani Staff Reporter

The $800,000 Campus Programming Fund could see an increase for the first time in 14 years. The Student Government Association initially announced a proposal of a $327,000 increase in the fund meant to support student activities, at the Feb. 18 Student Liaision Committee Meeting. Central Michigan University’s Budget Priorities Committee suggested SGA bring the proposal down to $150,000 before taking it to University President George Ross, said SGA President Chuck Mahone. About $120,000 will be allocated to the Student Budget Allocation Committee, Mahone said, while the other $30,000 will go to Program Board. The increase would bring CMU CPF close to $1 million. Mahone said an increase in enrollment, and inflation makes this semester a “perfect time” to ask for an increase in funds. “Although it’s a large sum of money, it funds many

The CPF provides funding to the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center, Student Government, Program Board, Leadership Institute, Intramural Sports and other on-campus activities. “These things are funded from one pot of money,” Mahone said. “It’s not as much money as you think when you think about all the different pieces that go into it.” As of the Feb. 18 Board of Trustees meeting, Ross had yet to see the proposal. “I think the SGA request, like other budget requests, are going to be considered in totality,” Ross said. “(Myself and the cabinet) are going to review the request, we’re going to study it, and will

LIFE AFTER GRADUATION By Derek Brueck Staff Reporter

Kevin Kausch was able to cross helping a developing country off his bucket list. The Central Michigan University alumnus travelled to Nicaragua after graduating in 2014. He raised the funds for his stay and ended up getting donations from friends, family and his church before making the trip during the summer of 2014. Kausch said the living conditions of locals in Nicaragua were less than desirable. He said despite their situation, people living in Nicaragua were very welcoming to him. “Once I arrived there, it was worse than I expected it to be,” Kausch said. “(The locals) were making the best of the situation and were always friendly.” While in Nicaragua, Kausch joined the Growth International Volunteer Excursion,

an organization that focuses on sustainability development through volunteering in developing countries. Kausch and 31 other students from around the U.S. used recycled materials as construction supplies. Kausch assisted on various construction projects, using bricks fashioned from recycled bottles during his two-week stay in Nicaragua. Because it is too expensive for the community to recycle plastic bottles, they are littered throughout the area, Kausch said. GIVE has been salvaging the litter to create the bricks for local homes. Kausch and his group spent their time adding on to structures that were already in place in the community, using plastic bottles. The organization has completed multiple school buildings in the country. “Over the last few years, GIVE has been building voca-

come to a decision in the coming weeks or months.” Although the request was reduced, the difference will not negatively impact all that SGA strives to accomplish, Mahone said.

“(SGA) has been able to work with where we’re at and we know where we want to go, so this is a stepping stone,” Mahone said. “What we want to do is show that, (with the) extra

needs more money,” Gehrcke said. Mahone is confident that the CPF should receive an increase by the end of the fiscal year.

Alumnus builds homes, schools out of plastic bottles in Nicaragua tional schools to help children do more with their lives,” Kausch said. “We would pack the bottles with sand until they were hard as rock.” On his trip, Kausch stopped in Jiquilillo, a small fishing village on the Pacific Coast. His second stop took him to the opposite side of the country, to Little Corn Island in the Caribbean Sea. Kausch said he hopes to return to do more volunteering and further improve the quality of life in Nicaragua. He saw the benefits of his volunteer work not only on the local community, but for volunteers as well. “Going on this trip, you start out with 30 students that are complete strangers, but after those two weeks, you are best friends with all of them,” Kausch said. Those interested in joining GIVE can apply at givevolunteers.org.

Traverse City resident Jeff Skomp, 35, dries off after he jumped into the pool Feb. 21 at the Polar Plunge outside Wayside Central.

“A lot of people dress up in a crazy costumes. They’ll bust out their Halloween costumes from the year before,” said Arron Mills, Public Relations and Social Media Manager for Special Olympics Michigan. In previous years, the event was held at Rose Pond outside of the Student Activity Center on campus. This was the first year the event was held at O’Kelly’s Sports Bar & Grill and Wayside Central, with two swimming pools set up in the parking lot. “You’ve got all these people coming out, whether its students, community members, faculty and staff, that get a little crazy, dress a little goofy and jump in some freezing water, all for Special Olympics athletes,” said Dan Ekonen, director of unified sports for Special Olympics Michigan. Ekonen has been helping organize the plunge for the past seven years. If spectators weren’t outside, they were inside enjoying the After Splash Bash. Drinks, t-shirts and live music filled the bar. A few local bands, including Jedi Mind Trip, a Michigan classic rock band, played for participants inside the Wayside. 28 Polar Plunges were scheduled statewide this year. So far, 20 of the events are completed. The events have raised more than $900,000 for Special Olympics.

Football coach Bonamego settling in to first head coaching job

It’s been the balance beam— or the “third quarter” as Head Coach Jerry Reighard called it Sunday—that has plagued the Chippewas all season. But they were able to overcome it Sunday, on senior day. “The third quarter was not great,” Reighard said. “It was mediocre. But it didn’t drown us. We didn’t fall apart. I think that’s a real sign of a maturing team.” After recording the ninthhighest vault score in program history and notching a pair of 9.9’s on the uneven bars, scores started to go south on the balance beam. It was senior Halle Moraw who helped

salvage the event, scoring a 9.9 and giving her team momentum heading into the floor event, the final rotation. “(On the) beam I had a wobble,” Moraw said. “Which if I get that, then I know I’m golden there. Floor was just fun. I heard the crowd right before I went. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to end.” Sophomore Kirstin Stambaugh and junior Kirsten Petzold gathered 9.85’s while senior Becca Druien and Moraw finished the meet with a pair of 9.9’s to help the team eclipse the coveted 196 mark. CMU won 196.125-192.700. “It was crazy to land my final dismount and that be the final thing I do at McGuirk,” Druien w Gymnastics | 8

Fans cheered as Head football Coach John Bonamego was introduced Saturday at halftime of the Central Michigan University men’s basketball team’s game against Ball State. Bonamego has spent the last two weeks since his hire making public appearances meeting with community members, players and coaches as he prepares to embark on what he said he hopes will be his first and last head coaching job. During his tour, Bonamego sat down with Central Michigan Life to discuss community engagement, player discipline and schematic approach as the Chippewas prepare to start spring practice next month.

What have the last two weeks, since your hire, been like? Bonamego: It’s been a whirlwind. Once the announcement was made, my phone blew up. At one point we were up to 300 unopened text messages. I’ve had to get my family oriented and empty my office at the Lions facility back in Allen Park. There have been a couple of days where I have forgotten to eat. It’s been really exciting. How do you plan to make Kelly/Shorts Stadium a place that opposing teams fear playing in? Bonamego: That happens by winning. It starts with how you approach everything in your daily preparation. Excellence is a process, not a destination.You don’t just wake up one day and you’re excellent.Winning breeds confidence and confidence breeds winning. It starts with teaching. Schematically, do you consider yourself a more offensiveminded or defensive minded coach? Bonamego: There

are a lot of different schemes. They can all work. But none of them work unless you have the players to execute the scheme. The players have to know the system and play with great fundamentals. Those are the things that separate the teams that win occasionally from the teams that win consistently. When was the first time you looked at CMU’s schedule for the coming season? Which game stood out to you the most? Bonamego: Games are decided on the field, not anywhere else. If you want to be seen as the best, you have to compete in those (tough) games.We will do our very best every single snap for four quarters and into overtime if we have to. Our approach is going to be the same every week. I’ve always looked at every opponent as a faceless opponent. I’m more concerned with our effort and how we block and tackle than whoever we are playing. Do you expect to see more fans at home games this fall? Bonamego: A big part of it will be the energy

that we are feeling right now. We are seeing it happen with our basketball program right now. They are winning now and there is energy and an excitement about what they are doing. We plan to do it just that way. I’m trying to engage as many people as I can. On a personal level, I’m getting verbal commitments from people to show up on game day. This community and campus wants this. We all want this. People that have been here a long time know what that looks like and feels like, and they want that back. I feel a tremendous amount of responsibility to make that happen. What do you anticipate will be the biggest difference between coaching the National Football League and as a head coach at the college level? Bonamego: There are a lot more similarities than people realize. In

the NFL, you only have seven draft picks a year. I really believe player development is one of the priorities you have to have in your program. Fundamentally, schematically and intellectually. It has to take place at every level. What do you do with a student athlete that has gotten into trouble with either the law, poor academics or other issues? Bonamego: You deal with each case individually. The best that you can hope for is that you have taught them to at least consider the consequences of the actions they take. If everyone would just stop to think before they do something, they can avoid a lot of situations. Things are going to happen. We want to do as much as we can to be proactive to let them know they are not just hurting themselves, they are hurting the team.

Men’s basketball dominates second half, moves to 10-4 in MAC By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter

After a first half with nine lead changes and four tie scores, the habitually pokerfaced junior guard Chris Fowler cracked a smile heading into the locker room while his teammates swarmed him with congratulations. Ball State had the ball on the final possession of the half, down two points. Instead of a game-tying bucket, the Chippewas stole the ball, and threw it down the court to Fowler,

who knocked down the deep 3-pointer as the clock hit zero. “The shots at the end of the half can be big factors,” said Head Coach Keno Davis. “Chris has made that shot more times than I can count. When he’s got the ball in his hands, I know that he’s more than capable to knock those down.” The Chippewas (20-5, 10-4 MAC) held the momentum through the second half, going on to win 83-60 and remain tied with Toledo for w Men’s | 8

And it’s something that I know I can do for the rest of the season.” It was Druien’s first 9.9 on any event in her career. For Moraw, it was her fifth 9.9 in on floor in the past six meets. “I enjoyed every single moment, didn’t take a single one for granted, tried to take it all in,” Moraw said. It kind of helps we have a month and a half left because if it was the very last meet, I’d be a hot mess right now. “It was just so great to be with all six seniors. Just to go out with a 196 plus is even better. It was a great day.” Reighard said the team is starting to hit its stride. While

the home season is over for CMU, they have three more meets before the March 21 Mid-American Conference Championships. Bowling Green came into the meet with three straight scores of 195 and above for the first time in program history, but struggled against the Chippewas. Moraw said she knew her team was in control, based on a nervous tactic she observed from Bowling Green. “We have this thing where, when teams are really loud when they start, they’re kind of scared because they get loud and try to pump themselves up,” Moraw said. “That’s when we know. We’re like, ‘yep, we’ve got them already.’ It was nice they did that too, this week.” The 196.125 is the 14th highest in program history.

experiences that he’s had can’t be manufactured. We are very, very fortunate to have him.” Colby was the defensive line coach at Illinois in 2013 and 2014, but was not retained for the 2015 season. Colby was the defensive coordinator at Northwestern University from 2002-2007 and at Kent State University from 1998-2001. He was also an assistant baseball coach at Illinois in 1975 and 1978-1980. While Bonamego is looking to create a new atmosphere, many facets of the program will remain the same from the Dan Enos’ era, including some of the assistant coaches. Morris Watts will remain as CMU’s offensive coordinator and will call the plays on offense in 2015. Watts has been coaching since 1961. He became the offensive coordinator for the Chippewas in 2014 and worked with the

passing game from 2011-2013. “I had a conversation with Coach (Herb) Deromedi,” Bonamego said. “He told me ‘If you can convince Coach Watts to stay, that’d be a real great thing for you.’ It’s a comforting thing for me as a firsttime head coach to have that veteran presence on that side of the ball.” Bonamego said he plans on speeding up the offense, huddling less and running a more run-and-gun style attack. “We’re going to be more uptempo,” Bonamego said. Kyle Nystrom, who was CMU’s linebackers and special teams coordinator, as well as the interim head coach after Enos’ departure, is the only Chippewa coach who hadn’t resigned that was left off Bonamego’s new staff.

New coach speaks to fans, community Rich Parr, who was a professor of health science at Central Michigan University for more than 45 years, attended the meet-and-greet Saturday. He had Bonamego as a student in

Junior forward John Simons, who led the team with 19 points and five rebounds, credits the second-half dominance to his team’s depth. “We feel that we’re a really good transition team when we can get up and go, but in order to do that we have to either rebound well or get some steals to get us going in transition,” Simons said. “That can change the momentum and start a run, which it did (Saturday).” Ball State was without its leading rebounder Saturday and rotated seven players most of the game while CMU had 10 players contribute points. “We feel like we have the most depth in the conference,” Fowler said. “We feel like all 11 guys could be starters on this team. We trust everybody. We feel like if we can get up and down and get into the other team’s bench, our bench is more capable.” While Fowler had 18 points of his own, he also contributed eight assists, moving him into first place in program history with 492 career assists. Fowler was given the game ball after the final buzzer and was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd. Fowler said his family was in attendance and was happy to be able to break the record in front of the home crowd. “It’s special for our entire

The top two seeds will receive a bye to the semi-finals, while the third and fourth seeds get a first-round bye. “If you’re looking forward to the conference tournament

Bonamego repeatedly thanked supporters for their warm welcome and said they can help the program by showing up at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. “We need to create an atmosphere in that stadium,” Bonamego said. “We’ve got to get it back to where it was. If you want to know how you can help, that’s a big way that you can help. Show up, be loud, be proud and bring people with you, please.” Parr said he believes Chippewa fans are buying in to Bonamego’s philosophy. “The last few years (the program) has not been very productive, so you don’t follow things if they’re not productive as much as you do when they are productive,” Parr said. “I think he’s got people very encouraged about the future and I think they’re going to be supportive of him.”

Women’s basketball breaks losing streak with win over WMU By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Snapping a four-game losing streak, the Central Michigan University women’s basketball team defeated Western Michigan University 63-51 Saturday at McGuirk Arena. Senior guard Crystal Bradford returned to the lineup after missing the previous three games with soreness in her knee. “(Bradford) is a great player, and we love having her on the court,” said senior forward Kerby Tamm. “We’re just happy she was able to be out there again and hopefully continue to be.” CMU avenged a 69-64 loss

to WMU earlier this season without a dominating game from Bradford, who had eight points in her return to the court. All of Bradford’s points came late in the second half when the Inkster native scored on four of CMU’s next five scoring possessions to give CMU a 58-51 lead with 2:48 remaining in the game. “Crystal draws a lot of attention, and she hit some big buckets for us at key times,” Tamm said. Junior guard Da’Jourie Turner put together her best performance of the season slicing through WMU’s defense to score a career-high 23 points. She shot 8-of-17 from the field.

Turner’s showing came at a crucial time as the women were on the verge of having their worst losing streak since the 2009-10 season. “We’re happy to be on a winning streak again,” she said. “We just need to continue to work hard to continue this streak.” CMU received solid contributions from seniors Tamm and forward Jas’Mine Bracey as well as freshman Aleah Swary. Tamm finished the game with her second career double-double tallying 13 points and 11 rebounds. Bracey added nine points and eight boards, while Swary knocked down two 3-pointers for CMU. “We’ve been working really hard in practice and we finally had it all come together today,” Tamm said. “We got a really good team win.” The balanced scoring from the Chippewas caused problems for WMU (16-9, 9-5 MAC). “It was nice to see other people that were able to finish,” Guevara said. “It’s a good

win for us at a critical time.” The difference for the Chippewas this time was their defense. CMU held the Broncos to just six points total over the last 12 minutes of the game, holding WMU to 36 percent shooting from the field and 17 percent from the 3-point line. WMU’s Miracle Woods had a double-double in the first matchup going for 27 points and 14 rebounds, and Jessica Jessing added 17 points. CMU held Woods to 17 points and two boards, while Jessing finished with just six points. “Defensively we matched up better this time,” Guevara said. “With Miracle, she busted us the first time. We had our kids dig in off of their non-shooters, so when she put the ball on the floor, we had a lot of people right there.” Moving forward, CMU will have little room for error as the Chippewas final four opponents of the regular season are a combined 3-1 against the women this season.

For the past week, Central Michigan University women’s basketball head coach Sue Guevara said her team needed to keep the vision, and focus on the process of winning. Chippewa fans got to see exactly what the rewards of that process looked like Saturday. For one of the first times since senior guard Jessica Green’s season-ending injury, CMU had a strong team performance for a whole 40 minutes. All the players contributed in the minutes they were given, while contributing at different times. While this game will most likely be remembered for the career performances from guards Da’Jourie Turner and Kerby Tamm, it was also contributions from the other players that made the win possible. Take for example freshman Aleah Swary’s contributions. Her six points and three rebounds don’t necessarily jump off the stat sheet, but they came at pivotal moments of the game. Early in the second half, Western Michigan had just taken an eight-point lead. Ten seconds later, Swary hit a 3-pointer to cut the lead to five. If the Broncos could have taken a 10-point lead

early in the half, the outcome of the game could have changed. Freshman guard Cassandra Breen also found a way to make an impact on the game in her limited minutes. CMU trailed by one with 10 minutes remaining when she made one of her two defensive rebounds. On the next possession, Turner was fouled and hit two free throws to take the lead. Western was never able to regain the lead following this series of plays. While this play may have seemed routine at the time, it was another way for a player to contribute and help influence the outcome of a pivotal game. In a combination of teamwork and effort, CMU is now 7-7 in the Mid-American Conference with four games remaining in the regular season. Now the Chippewas must use this blueprint to success and improve on it to allow them to be playing their best basketball come March.
